Psychologically (i.e. in order to keep myself sane ... as possible) I'm setting sights on March / fiscal year end for P3 (Sprinter) results. So, anything earlier will be a bonus. However, expect a few RNS milestones to be reached/reported on along the way that keep the SP progressing to a higher springboard position for the ultimate P3 'moonshot'. On the other hand, optimistically, I am expecting a fairly imminent 'Last Patient Dosing' RNS based on what I believe would be RM's intention not to risk any further delay and so 'November', I think, will have been carefully chosen with some generous leeway added into their calculation. All my own guesswork of course !
"A new strategy announced on Thursday by the World Health Organization (WHO) calls for $23.4 billion to combat inequities in accessing COVID-19 vaccines, tests and treatments, as cases of the disease mount globally for the first time in two months. "
"Ahead of the G20 summit this weekend in Rome, Tedros issued an appeal to the world’s leading industrial nations, as they “have the ability to make the political and financial commitments that are needed to end this pandemic, and to prevent future crises.”

"Sealioning (also spelled sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate".[5] The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki.[6]
Description
The troll feigns ignorance and politeness, so that if the target is provoked into making an angry response, the troll can then act as the aggrieved party.[7][8] Sealioning can be performed by a single troll or by multiple ones acting in concert.[9] The technique of sealioning has been compared to the Gish gallop and metaphorically described as a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.[10]
An essay in the collection Perspectives on Harmful Speech Online, published by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard, noted:
Rhetorically, sealioning fuses persistent questioning—often about basic information, information easily found elsewhere, or unrelated or tangential points—with a loudly-insisted-upon commitment to reasonable debate. It disguises itself as a sincere attempt to learn and communicate. Sealioning thus works both to exhaust a target's patience, attention, and communicative effort, and to portray the target as unreasonable. While the questions of the "sea lion" may seem innocent, they're intended maliciously and have harmful consequences.
—?Amy Johnson, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society (May 2019)[10]"
... it would seem likely that , given the (Sept - Nov) delay, RM would revert to type and seek to under-promise and over-deliver so as not to risk the reporting of further delays? Those still trading may wish to ponder the likelihood therefore, that the next RNS may land even sooner than anticipated ...
... wins the race.
Other milestones still to come so and each will raise the SP to a higher springboard position for the ultimate booster ignition .. feels like the beginning of the end and only weeks to wait - what's not to like.
Whilst the desire to point out the error(s) in de-ramper post contents is understandable ... please spare a thought for your fellow LTH's who have resisted this temptation and simply filtered, but end up seeing the same contents just repeated anyway as part of a rebuttal ... which we all know agree with anyway. Thanks in advance. Prayer hands emoji.
